Genevieve Grant first connected with Isles through Elena, a member of our First-Time Homebuyers program. She was living in a home on Miller Street when a lead assessment revealed the presence of lead paint. Concerned for the safety of her grandchildren, who often visited, she was determined to create a healthier environment. During her journey with Isles, she learned something that deeply surprised her, lead has a sweet taste. It was a revelation that underscored the hidden dangers lurking in her home.
What stood out most to Miss Genevieve was the unwavering support and kindness of the Isles team. She felt truly cared for, knowing that there were no strings attached—just a genuine commitment to making her home safer. Isles provided her with a brand-new door, sealed gaps around her windows and baseboards, and ensured that her home was properly weatherized.
The transformation was immediate. She described her home as warmer, brighter, and more beautiful than ever, inspiring her to decorate and take even more pride in her space. When asked what she would say to other families facing similar concerns, her message was clear: “Definitely contact Isles. Go get it done.” For her, the biggest takeaway was not just the physical improvements but the kindness and dedication of the people who made it happen.
Miss Genevieve’s story is a testament to the power of a safe and healthy home, and to the difference that compassion and commitment can make in a community.
